SUPERNOVA 2010if IN NGC 7372
     J. M. Silverman and A. V. Filippenko, University of California, Berkeley,
report that inspection of a fairly noisy CCD spectrum (range 340-1000 nm),
obtained on Oct. 11 UT with the 3-m Shane reflector (+ Kast) at Lick
Observatory, shows that 2010if (CBET 2469) is likely a type-Ib supernova.
